Computation from Geometry
Seth Lloyd · Science · 2001
Quantum computation is usually performed through optical or magnetic resonance and does not obviously have anything to do with geometry. But, as [Lloyd][1] explains in his Perspective, computation can benefit from geometry. He highlights the report by [ Duan et al .][2], who have found a way to exploit geometry to perform quantum computations more efficiently through sending quantum bits for walks through potential space.
